[Bug 670403] Re: Recently installed applications should be easy to run

So, after some discussion with the unity 2D team and Gary, we scoped down the spec for Natty. Meaning that the dbus call is still the final one, but we don't introduce the "install" effect and flying icon for it. We need for oneiric putting a service common to unity2D and unity3D for that and avoi

[Bug 670403] Re: Recently installed applications should be easy to run

USC doesn't have enough engineers to implement multiple solutions before user-testing them, and this particular function is a bit too interactive for paper-prototyping. The design exercise was to find a solution that would be both elegant and likely to work, before implementing it and testing it. A

[Bug 670403] Re: Recently installed applications should be easy to run

In user testing of Ubuntu Software Center 2.0 and 3.0, consistently the biggest problem has been that people could not figure out how to launch newly-installed applications. Having a separate pane in USC for draggable launchers was one of the options I evaluated (#6 in

Thanks James and Mark. This problem was also highlighted by Charline in her UDS session on usability issues in Unity. Addressing this is a priority for Natty: https://blueprints.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+spec/appdevs-desktop-n -software-center-ui-enhancements ** Changed in: software-center (Ubunt
